Subject: [PATCH] io-mapping: remove fallback for writecombine

The fallback was introduced in commit 80c33624e472 ("io-mapping: Fixup
for different names of writecombine") to fix the build on microblaze.

5 years later, it seems all archs now provide a pgprot_writecombine(),
so just remove the other possible fallbacks. For microblaze,
pgprot_writecombine() is available since commit 97ccedd793ac
("microblaze: Provide pgprot_device/writecombine macros for nommu").

This is build-tested on microblaze with the following hack to always
build mm/io-mapping.o and without diying on a x86-only macro
(_PAGE_CACHE_MASK)
